Used Bona Nordicseal and Bona Traffic HD.. Need advice please!
Comments (69)Here are some evening photos of my white oak select grade hardwood, site installed, with one coat of Bona Natural seal and two coats of Bona Traffic HD Matte. It’s a lot lighter IRL than in the photos. I agonized over what sealer to use (bought different stains, Loba 2k, all sorts of products). This combination seemed to look the closest to the natural wood (which I LOVED). The sealer did make it a tiny bit darker but it’s ok. I also included a photo of my stairs. They are red oak. It was a fortune to replace the stairs so we kept the red oak and used one coat of wheathered oak stain and two coats of Bona HD traffic extra matte (same as on the floors). Two lessons learned: Use a third coat of Bona HD traffic in high-traffic areas (our first floor gets a ton of wear with a dog and three teenagers, a third coat would have added an extra layer of protection against scratches). If you are a sheen person and like gleaming wood floors, do not use matte, use a satin finish. I had satin in my other house and I do miss the shine of a freshly washed wood floor. Although a matte does do a great job of hiding scratches. We installed white oak throughout the house (with the exception of the stairs) and even in the kitchen. I love wood floors in the kitchen - easier on the feet, knees, and not cold like a tile floor....See MoreBona Mega/Traffic HD/Traffic Naturale for White Oak stairs?
Comments (2)I've used Naturale twice and neither customer liked it and went to Traffic. With a very low gloss option in Traffic it seems kind of redundant but maybe I'm just not that discerning. I have some on a floor in my showroom and it's held up well but seems to have gotten shinier over time. What color are they doing for stain?...See More2 or 3 coats of Traffic HD over Bona Intense Seal
Comments (1)Two coats of Traffic HD is all you need for residential floors. Apply a third coat if, you are expecting to have 500 guest daily....See MoreBona seal and Bona traffic HD after a few years?
Comments (0)Considering either Bona natural or Nordic seal along with Bona traffic for white oak. Can anyone share a photo of how these products have held up after a few years? I’ve seen some beautiful projects on here but am concerned about minimizing any yellowing of the oak. Would greatly appreciate anyone that can share an update after a few years....See Morejapek
